Reprint of the original, first published in 1858.

A hard-hitting tale of addiction, recovery, and loss** Includes 40 full-colour illustrations **"I knew the group of five meant for trouble, as they circled me and started pushing me. That soon disappeared as one of them, from the corner of my eye, uppercut me to the jaw. I was out cold - sparked on the street." HIT: ONCE UPON A FIELD explores the important issues of epilepsy and addiction with a gripping narrative that shifts from coming-of-age biography to true crime page-turner. This is the story of Stephen Reding, an artist from Manchester whose life was forever changed following an unprovoked assault in 1995. One week after the incident, he suffered his first epileptic seizure. What follows is a tale of seismic proportions, as we trace this promising young artist's journey into a life of addiction, chaos, and crime. An ill-fated trip to Thailand results in a months-long disappearance, where he is caught up in drug dealing and working for an organised crime gang in Bangkok. Stephen returns to Manchester with an impressive art portfolio, but this is overshadowed by his growing dependence on opiates - an addiction that leaves him isolated on the fringes of society and running for his life..." I ordered a beer at the airport bar and put my ticket inside the newspaper. A gent came and sat next to me. We talked. He took the newspaper with the ticket inside and went to make his journey. The job was done." An unflinching account of one person's struggle to reclaim their identity in the face of adversity, HIT: ONCE UPON A FIELD is set apart by the stunning paintings that frame each chapter. Here, the protagonist's own artwork guides the reader through this unique tale of addiction, recovery, and loss.

In 1905, a sixteen-year-old Austrian boy falls in love with the music of his compatriot Franz Lehár when he attends the premiere of Lehár’s operetta ‘The Merry Widow’. The boy dreams of becoming an artist in Vienna, has no great interest in politics and shows no signs of anti-Semitism. His name is Adolf Hitler. Inspired by real events, ‘Song of Buchenwald’ vividly portrays Hitler’s transformation into a murderous, racist fanatic, and Vienna’s degeneration into a hotbed of extremism and hate, where Lehár’s Jewish wife Sophie and his Jewish colleagues – including the great librettist Fritz Löhner-Beda – find themselves in grave and constant danger. Yet one fact remains unchanged: Hitler is still a great admirer of Lehár’s music. Can Lehár use this to persuade Hitler to spare Sophie a
